The rainy season is officially here knocking on our doors and we all are excited for this rain to bestow on us after a scorching heat of summers. But with the new season comes new ailments too and to avoid it we can take many precautions on hand but first we should start with our diet or food we consume.
So, here is a list of foods which is advisable to avoid during the rainy season.

⦁ STREET FOOD –
It is safe to say we all enjoy Street food without looking at the conditions it is being cooked at. GUILTY!? ME TOO but we should totally avoid Street food during the rainy season as it becomes a breeding ground for many insects and mosquitoes.So, keep your cravings aside and indulge in health first.

⦁ LEAFY VEGETABLES
It is also mentioned in many health books and said by our grandparents that during this season we should avoid leafy vegetables as they are also a perfect breeding ground for contamination , so to avoid that it is advisable to not eat that or to eat it after properly and thoroughly washing it.

⦁ FRIED AND NON VEG
As this rainy season is celebrating by Hindus through sawan and there is certain food which they avoid which is non veg and there is a scientific reason for that during this season just like we enjoy rain, our digestive tract also need rest, so to do that it is also advised to avoid eating harsh things which might not be easy on our stomach or gastrointestinal tract.
